SELF-FEEDING BUFFING WHEEL.

Application filed April 21, 1921. Serial No. 463,281.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH J. TRIsKA, a citizen of the Republic of Czechoslovakia, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Self-Feeding Buffing Wheels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved selffeeding buffing wheel and is particularly adapted for buffing or polishing surfaces of metals or other materials.

Heretofore the buffing wheels employed were made of soft fibre, muslin, cotton and the like and these wheels were saturated with various preparations or compounds to facilitate their action. My invention contemplates as an object a buifing wheel comprising a plurality of cotton flannel disks interlaid with other disks or rings impregnated with a bufling or polishing compound and having these impregnated rings or disks arranged for their successive feeding during the operation and gradual wear of buffing wheel.

With these and other objects in view my invention consists in the novel construction, combination and relative position of the parts and members hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing in which like reference characters indicate like or correspending parts:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bufling wheel embodying my invention. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate respectively views of the layers taken on lines 2-2 and 3-3 of F igure 4, which is a cross section of a wheel of this character preliminary to the stitching or sewing together of the various disks. Figure 5 shows a plain disk of muslin, cotton, flannel or any suitable bufling material.

Referring to the illustrations, the bufling wheel here shown as embodying my invention consists of a plurality of bufling disks 10 made of muslin, cotton, wool, flannel or any other suitable material, which bufling disks 10 are interlaid, preferably alternately, with flat members, disks or rings 12 and 13 of suitable bufiing material which is impregnated with a buffing preparation or compound, as for instance, in bufiing brass or copper, the bufling compound might include as elements, stearic acid, parafin, tallow, tripoli (infusorial earth), silica, and quartz,

or for use in nickel work, stearic acid, petroleum, parafiin and Vienna lime. The buffing wheel here preferably shown has a cena0 tral disk 12 and outer alternately spaced rings 13 with two of the interlaid disks 10 as separators. 'llhese disks and rings are a laid in the order or arrangement shown in the cross section, Figure 4, and are then my sewed together or stitched spirally as shown in Figure 1. It is obvious that the number and the order or arrangement of plain disks 10, impregnated disks 12, and rings 13 can be varied.

I claim:

1. A butting wheel comprising a. plurality of plain discs and a plurality of compoundimpregnated members, said compound-impr'egnated members comprising a central disc member and a plurality of annular members of diflerent diameters, and being arranged in pairs and having said plain discs separatingeach pair.

2. A bufling wheel comprising a. plurality so of plain discs, a central compound-impregnated disc and a plurality of compound-impregnated annular members, said impregnated disc and annular members being arranged in pairs and inter-laid with said plain discs and said annular members increasing progressively in diameters from the center of the wheel.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 18th day of April,

JOSEPH J. ISKA.
